2. Client Requirement
http://www.brainvire.com
The client demanded a web application to analyze patent’s
Identify the most important patents in a network
By utilizing the knowledge hidden in citation information
Patent citation network introduces a new approach to search
patent databases
To Build and analyze technology landscapes

3. The Patent Citation Research Tool
http://www.brainvire.com
Search patents more efficiently and faster
Quickly identify patent in your area of technology landscape
Identify patents that are most cited in the network
Build on integrations and intersections via Patent Dependency
Calculate relative measure of how much a patent cites
Compare patent portfolio strength

4. http://www.brainvire.com
The Output is in The Form of:
A Citation Network Diagram.
Lists of patents ranked on the following:
PDNI (Patent Dependency on Network Index)
NDPI (Network Dependency on Patent Index)
ECCI (Ego-Centric Citation Index)
Radar plots of top 20 patents in each category (PDNI, NDPI
and ECCI).

8. Planning
http://www.brainvire.com
The Database layer containing MySQL Server Database, Tables and so
on
The Data Access layer containing the Data Access Objects responsible
for accessing data from the database.
The Business Logic layer consisting of all the business logic procedures
for various modules
The User Interface layer which forms the Graphical User Interface of the
website

9. Architecture
http://www.brainvire.com
The patent citation research tool was built around PHP
It can be executed directly from the UI layer
PHP files consisted of all the business logics used
The database in an object-oriented context
An interface translating the object logic to the relational logic
data from multiple tables and were entirely avoided with conditional
syntax
The UI layer was kept free of any business logic

10. Development Highlights
http://www.brainvire.com
A Robust architecture to quickly analyze a patent’s citation network
It enables the user to understand the technologies in vogue
Gives quick and efficient results for patent’s citation network
Identify the most important patents in that network
Also shows how strong your portfolio is
Web usability guidelines were strictly followed
Extensive pre-development research was carried out
The site was developed and fully functional in a short span of time
